Very inappropriately, in this situation, the only one who dared to speak was that bastard.

"It's really good." They heard him say, "It sounds like your work isn't very busy, having so much time to accompany your children. I'm a bit unlucky, holding multiple positions, and those little bastards have long been left to fend for themselves."

Batman raised his eyebrows and said, "How many children do you have? Looking at your age, Tim shouldn't have come yet, right?"

"No Damian." Bruce answered, "But Dick, Jason, and Tim have all arrived."

Batman was obviously a bit surprised. He said, "Are you serious? How old are you this year?"

"I have a secret for staying young." Bruce appeared smug and said, "I say I'm under 30, you definitely won't believe it, but I think this is a very subjective matter. In order to achieve the achievement of graduating with a doctorate before 30, I will temporarily set myself at 29."

He spoke crazily, a bit incoherent, but Batman was still very interested in him. He said, "Indeed you look very young. I guess you do some maintenance, but I can't accept things like lying on a surgical bed that Talia said. Perhaps being older can also have more majesty, right?"

"Perhaps so." Bruce nodded and said, "Ever since this bunch of bastards entered high school, they haven't really treated me as a father. Last time Dick even asked me for dating advice."

Batman immediately widened his eyes. He leaned over and asked, "The Dick in your universe is dating? Who is the object?"

"A female magician." Bruce recalled and said, "What was her name, Rachel?"

"It's actually not Barbara?"

"Unfortunately, the Barbara in our universe hasn't been born yet." Bruce said, "Gordon just chased his girlfriend back. I think they are still a long way off."

Batman clearly felt very surprised. He said, "You mean in your universe, Oracle might be the youngest child?... My God, she would be your best sweetheart."

"I don't think so. I have a daughter, how should I put it, she hasn't been very close to being a sweetheart since she was small." Bruce shook his head, sighed, and said, "Her name is Aisha. You might meet her later."

Batman's eyes lit up. He leaned closer and said, "Really? You have a daughter? Biological daughter?"

"As biological as it gets... Don't ask me who her mother is, just assume it's Selina." Bruce blocked Batman's words.

"Do you have photos?"

Bruce took out his phone and started flipping through it. Actually, there was no need to flip much; he basically had photos of Selina and Aisha in his hand.

"Wow." Batman let out a heartfelt exclamation. All the Batmen couldn't help but look over here.

Aisha and Bruce were carved from the same mold, especially after she grew up a little bit. The two looked exactly the same. No one would believe it if they said she wasn't Bruce's seed.

"It seems we are about to welcome a heroine." Batman smiled and said, "I hope it's not a world-shaking thief."

"Stealing is still a bit too complicated for her."

"Also, after all, she is still so young."

"... I mean she has a more direct method." Bruce thought for a moment and then said, "In case you meet her in the future, remember to prepare a few more sets of armor."

The other Batmen just thought he was talking crazy again. The main universe Batman, however, groundlessly remembered some not-so-friendly tooth marks on the equipment and armor of his Robins.

"Just now you seemed to mention graduating with a doctorate?" Batman looked a bit interested and said, "What major are you studying, and you still haven't graduated yet? I remember I had two doctoral degrees when I was 18."

"That's different." Bruce waved his hand and said, "The major I'm studying is relatively..."

"... relatively ordinary." The main universe Batman didn't know when he had touched the side along the shadows and said, "It's just psychology."

Bruce narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Do you have a doctoral degree in psychology?"

"Don't you?" The main universe Batman asked back.

"I... of course I'm almost there."

"How long will it be delayed this time?"

"That's not a delay!" Bruce almost jumped up. He raised his voice and said, "A small mistake in some course hour calculations!"

"A mistake for a whole year?"

"Batman, do you want to fight?!"

The main universe Batman withdrew his gaze and said, "It seems you haven't realized the crisis you are facing now—how much longer do you think your Robins can read until they get a doctorate?"

Bruce's movements paused. The Batman beside him was also calculating for him. He said, "Dick doesn't seem to like reading very much. He probably won't go to get a doctorate."

"But it's hard to say about Jason. Although he isn't very patient with school either, if he has time, perhaps he will also get a doctorate in literature or history. Tim is definitely going to have a high degree. Perhaps it will be a double doctoral degree in finance and management."

"Four years of university, three years of master's, three years of doctorate. I think they will probably graduate with a doctorate at 27 or 28. After all, the academic achievements of these two types of majors are always easy to do. You just said you are already 29?"

"I'm just temporarily setting myself at 29! But I could also be 28 or 27, and even if I say I'm 22 now, would anyone not believe it?"

Two Batmen looked at him at the same time. The main universe Batman clicked his tongue, and the other shook his head.

"You haven't realized that someone who has studied for a doctorate cannot falsely claim to be an undergraduate." The main universe Batman pointed out sharply, "That kind of exhaustion from academic pressure will completely distinguish you from innocent college students."

Bruce slammed the table fiercely. The two block figures sitting on the table immediately yelled, "Hey, don't be like that, Bruce. This is a normal life experience. Don't have any age anxiety. Even if you graduate with a doctorate at 30, isn't that normal?"

"The biggest problem is that he is definitely not just 30." The main universe Batman said gloomily, "Another disadvantage of appearance not changing is that even if you are 50 now, no one knows."

Other Batmen immediately cast surprised gazes.

"I'm not that old!"

"But you have always been pretending to be young." The main universe Batman said, "I have to say, your professor shouldn't be worrying about his doctoral thesis at your age, right?"

Bruce gritted his teeth and inhaled through his teeth. He sighed deeply, hugged his arms, looked at the main universe Batman, and said, "It seems you have been very free lately. Do you need me to help you find some more trouble?"

"Don't misunderstand." The main universe Batman said, "I just consistently don't trust magic."

"It seems you are old acquaintances." The quite sunny Batman smiled and said, "Can you tell me about it? I also happen to want to know about the situation of the multiverse."

"That's a long story..."

"I'll tell it first!" Bruce glared at the main universe Batman and said, "I'm best at making a long story short."

"Then tell it." The main universe Batman raised his chin.

Bruce cleared his throat, and the attention of all the Batmen was attracted over.

"The multiverse recently—nothing happened! Meeting adjourned!"

Bruce raised his arm and sighed, seemingly wanting to turn and leave, but not a single Batman moved his gaze away.

"Why are you looking at me like that? I'm telling the truth!"

"How do you know?" One of the Batmen asked.

"I am the CEO of the largest dark group in the multiverse. How could I not know?" Bruce leaned on the table beside him again, supported his face with his hand, and said, "There are no projects invading the multiverse recently, so isn't it just nothing happening?"

"What about Heaven?" The main universe Batman asked.

"Same old story." Bruce rolled his eyes and said, "Angels are shedding feathers, God is nowhere to be found, the Holy Spring doesn't allow bathing, and Eden prohibits nesting."

But to wipe out the Green Lanterns for his own power, the last one to do so was Sinestro, the most evil traitor of the Green Lantern Corps.

And Hal vaguely felt that if he took action, he would do better than Sinestro, which might also mean he could obtain greater power than Sinestro.

Hal closed the chat interface, took a deep breath, and looked at the endless desert in the distance.

For the sake of cosmic peace, he had to clean this room up properly.

"Since it isn't very mature, then make it mature quickly." The main universe Batman said, "Otherwise, don't even think about your doctoral degree ever maturing."

Bruce muttered something, but still shook his head and walked away resignedly, seemingly intending to go finish his thesis. The main universe Batman looked at his figure and shook his head.

Bat-Bruce walked over, nudged the main universe Batman with his elbow, and then said, "How should we deal with these blocks you brought back? Let's say it first, I won't use this stuff to build houses."

"We have professionals." The main universe Batman looked at the block figures on the table. The block Batman felt a chill down his back under his gaze. He took two steps back and said, "What do you want to do?"

"You should be a master of assembly, right?"

The block Batman was dizzy from this sudden straightforward flattery. He said, "I suppose so. Not to be modest, I should be the best in the universe."

"Very good." The main universe Batman looked around and asked, "Who else is good at assembling blocks?"

Except for the sunny Batman, no one answered. Obviously, the vast majority of Batmen didn't have that leisure.

"Then the two of you will be responsible." The main universe Batman looked at them and said, and then he looked at the Waynes and continued, "Trouble you two to go back and continue producing parts. The portal will be kept for a period of time, which should be enough to transport all the parts over."

"What about the architectural blueprints?" A Batman asked.

"I'll leave it to you." The main universe Batman looked at the block Batman.

"I'll leave it to you."

The block Joker standing in the hamster cage only saw a row of Schiller's expectant gazes above his head.
